Book Description:
Seeking A BoyfriendMembers who requested this book also requested:
Must Have Big FeetAll Jillene McDermott needs is a little breathing room, and the only place she can find it is in the bathtub. Her coffee bar, Jave the Hut, is on life support, and raising two daughters alone is a full-time job, so quiet moments in the tub are a rare treat.
Kowing their mom deserves some happiness, Jillene's daughters, Claire and Faye, write her a personal ad. But their good intentions go wrong and Vince Tremonti, the town's most famous son, has to step in as Jillene's "boyfriend."
VInce is a crime writer who is back in Blue Heron Beach to rethink the grim reality of his career, and he can't afford to get involved with anyone, much less a young widow with a ready-made family.
But thrown together, the two can't deny the mutual attraction and they realize there is more between them than a summer fling. Suddently, lattes are not the only thing steaming in Blue Heron Beach.

A great story of a single mom with two daughters. In her struggles and determination to succeed, she swore off dating. Then Vince the single crime writer comes back to the island. Very entertaining and funny along with the romance.

Issa S. (I surprised myself and found I enjoyed this book far more than I thought I would. The writing was great; very funny and very real. I really felt I understood Jillene and there were times I felt very proud of her. The story with Vince's dad seemed a little out of place, but I did like getting to know him. Good book.
I enjoyed this book as a way to relax from my more thought-provoking reads.
Laura E. from CINCINNATI, OH wrote on 12/16/2006...Jillene is a mother facing the trials of life as best as she can. She is a widow with two preteen daughters, a struggling coffee bar, and a mountain of her late husband's debts. While she may need a white knight, she does not really want any more complications like romance in her life. However, her daughters have different ideas and place a personal ad, hoping to find happiness for their mom.
The answer to their prayers comes in the form of Vince Tremonti, a true crime writer who fears his soul is becoming too dark from long exposure to the murk of humanity's basest elements. He has come home to try and find some peace with himself and his career. He finds himself continually involved in Jillene and the girl's lives, and falling in love reluctantly. Yet, he plans on making his stay a temporary one, so how can these three females fit into his world?
Very good book about a single mother trying to work her way out of a debt left behind by her deceased husband who falls for the city's celebrity author who is fighting demons of his own regarding a book he is contracted to write.
